Did we prescribe a GLP-1 medication for you last year?
GLP-1 medications are no longer covered by Medicaid for weight loss. If your NHCLV care team prescribed one of these medications for you in 2025, it is important for you to schedule a follow-up appointment this year.

We understand how important your weight loss goals are, and we want to continue supporting your progress. At your visit, we can review your current plan and discuss alternative, more affordable options that may help you stay on track.

Please schedule your appointment through the patient portal or call us at 610-841-8400.

¿Le recetamos un medicamento GLP-1 el año pasado?
Los medicamentos GLP-1 ya no están cubiertos por Medicaid para la pérdida de peso. Si su equipo de atención de NHCLV le recetó uno de estos medicamentos en 2025, le recomendamos que programe una cita de seguimiento este año.

Entendemos lo importantes que son sus metas de pérdida de peso y queremos seguir apoyando su progreso. Durante su cita, podemos revisar su plan actual y hablar sobre alternativas más asequibles que le ayuden a mantenerse en el camino.

Por favor, programe su cita a través del portal del paciente o llámenos al 610-841-8400.

Neighborhood Health Centers of the Lehigh Valley

NHCLV was officially incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 2004 by a group of concerned community residents. Their goal was to meet the need for a coordinated system of primary care for the uninsured and/or underinsured residents in the Lehigh Valley.

NHCLV, after obtaining designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center-Look-Alike (FQHC-LA) in September 2010, submitted a New Access Point application in November 2010 and was awarded grant funding in 2012. NHCLV currently operates one primary care site, Vida Nueva at Casa and is the first Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in the Lehigh Valley.

An estimated 37,770 persons reside in NHCLV’s service area, of which 70.4% (26,583) are below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), including 15,390 persons whose income level falls below 100% of the FPL. The racial make-up of the service area is 59.3% Hispanic or Latino, 48.8% White, 21.2% Black/African-American, and the remaining 1.6% is Asian, multi-racial, or other. The service area population that is uninsured numbers 7,752 persons, all of whom are part of NHCLV’s target population. The target population confronts obstacles to obtaining routine and preventive primary care services due to linguistic and transportation barriers and extreme poverty.

Health disparities in the service area include high infant mortality rates, low birth weight, teen pregnancies, heart disease, cancer, su***de, and diabetes.
